Below is a sample 4-year plan for students pursuing the BS in Biology with a concentration in Ecology, Evolution, and Organismal Biology. To view the list of courses approved to fulfill KU Core Goals, please visit the KU Core website.

This degree plan assumes students will have the equivalent of MATH 101 or MATH 104 prior to the freshman year, fall semester.

18 credit hours of BIOL courses at 400+ level, including at least 4 h of lab credit and 2 h of seminar/topics course credit (BIOL 419, BIOL 420, BIOL 499, BIOL 701). No more than 5 h of BIOL 423 and/or BIOL 424 can be applied towards elective requirement, with no more than 2 h of BIOL 424 applied towards the lab requirement.

Please note:

All students in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences are required to complete 120 total hours of which 45 hours must be at the Jr/Sr (300+) level.

The same course cannot be used to fulfill more than one KU Core Goal. However, overlap of a KU Core course with a major or degree-specific requirement is allowed. Overlapping is recommended to allow more opportunities to explore other majors and/or minors.
